Building Improvements Occur Over the Summer

By Evan Spann  

Have you seen the new look on the front door at Project Learn School (PLS) - or the Community Room? All of this  work was done over the summer and early fall of 2013.

    Roni Anton, Project Learn School Community Coordinator, organized getting the work done in the building over the summer and early fall. Some of the work was done by parents and some was hired out. For instance, Judd Friedman, a landscaper, was hired to clean the backyard and  take out the weeds and brush. Lauren and Tony Halloway, new parents to PLS, also helped him.

    Other people came to the school to work on other projects. Joan Fox, Lisa Pack and Roni Anton plus the parents John Holbrook, Lisa Kelly, Chris and Kate Garrity, and John and Susannah Grubb all helped prep and paint the Community Room. David Wootton refinished the front the door all by himself. Donna Allender, one of the founding teacher/parents, was thrilled when she saw the door. She said, “It is so beautiful and such a fine way to welcome people to our school." 

 There were two work days to help get PLS ready: one on September 7 and the other on September 15. Lots of families came to help get school ready before the first day of school. Thank you to everyone who helped make PLS ready for staff and students.
